I have paired the fun Picture This Dies with the Crane of Fortune stamp set. And added the gorgeous Abstract Beauty DSP. Oh My!!
Stamps and Dies
This sweet stamp set is the Crane of Fortune. I used most of the stamps with the exception of the flower. It was just too large for these small circles. And as you can see, the crane does not fit very well either. But from my experience seeing them at my local park, you rarely get a full view of one. So creative license won out!
To get the single words, I used the Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Write Marker to color only the one word from two of the sentiments included in the stamp set. Since this set is Red Rubber, that is a wonderful option for color! The bottom right dragonfly is punched from a scrap of DSP and is the small one in the Dragonfly Punch.
Paper and Color
This gorgeous piece of DSP is from the Abstract Beauty 4 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I chose the paper first and then looked for a stamp set that would work with the dies. All of the colors are pulled from the paper. Although I almost erased the Just Jade with the top left dragonfly circle.
All of the cards I have made previously with the Picture This Dies, I did in a solid color. I wanted to try one with DSP for that layer. But….I wanted white circles, and the benefit of having a thicker die cut layer. To achieve this goal, I added just a touch of adhesive to the for corners of a Basic White cut the same size as the DSP. After running through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I carefully peeled the two layers apart. This left me with both DSP circles and white circles. And the added benefit of my papers lining up perfectly. A little bit of glue was added in strategic places to hold the two together permanently.
